Last night, I spent watching the two hour and thirty minute Star Wars trilogy documentary Empire of Dreams . I for one had no idea that George Lucas was more of an independent filmmaker who wanted to escape the restrictions that corporations put upon him in his movies when ironically enough, Lucas ...

I mentioned earlier that I wanted a Kanye West/Justin Vernon collaboration album. That still stands. But anyway, more music stuff: -Nas collaborating with RZA. -RZA to release a solo album that's not under the Bobby Digital persona and is more cohesive than Birth of a Prince . -Girls' Genera...

Guess which kidney-impaired EGFer has a bladder infection? Gotta keep pushing fluids to make sure none of that shit backs up into my only functioning kidney... I don't want to end up in the hospital again. Though then again, if I were in the hospital I wouldn't have to go to work. Am I serio...

Yeah, the Napster comment was kind of stupid and off-handed. In my defense it was late. I might try to enroll in further education to hopefully teach English as a second language... or any other subject that interests me that I can eventually qualify to teach. It's going to be difficult to adjus...

So guess who finally got put on antidepressants in addition to the mood stabilizers he's already been taking?

Duel to the Death (this film seriously could have ranked a lot higher if the action sequences - which ...

Parks and Recreation - I'm in the middle of season 2. Won't say much aside from the facts that it's hilarious and that Ron is my favorite character. Before I saw The Wire , season 3 of Parks & Recreation was my favorite single season of television ever. I'm a big fan of April Lu...

Last Hurrah for Chivalry Holy mother of exploding ninjas! I've seen well over 100 martial arts films, and this immediately ranks in my top ten... as of today, at least. Once I got used to the overly noisy sound design, everything became impressive. I'm talking goddamn swordplay, crazy twist...

There's a really great buried somewhere in there. Unfortunately it's padded out by uninteresting scenes. Like, if you cut it down to the best 80 or 90 minutes, you could have something really good. At least that's how I've always felt about it.

Naked Killer What the fuck? This is the "cult classic" I've been putting off watching for years? This movie invokes two goddamn syllables: boooooooooorrrrriiiiiiiiiinnnnggggg There's a few cool action sequences in the first third of the film and such but then it fell off. I really...
